In production since 1948, the F-150 is Ford's light- and medium-duty truck model. It became the best-selling vehicle of any type in the U.S. in the '80s, and also ranks as the top-selling vehicle in Canada. A 2015 13th generation redesign cut the weight of the truck by a whopping 750 pounds.

Nissan named its full-size Titan pickup after a group of divine beings from Greek mythology known as the Titans. Introduced in 2004, this truck got a major overhaul in 2015. The redesigned Titan was built onto a heavy-duty frame designed for the brand's commercial vehicles, given greater power and towing capacity, and an optional diesel engine helps to cut fuel costs.

Dodge produced the compact Dakota from 1987 to 2009, then sold the vehicle as the Ram Dakota for another two years through 2011. Generation one was a simple two-door, while the third generation was a four-door built on the Dodge Durango SUV platform.

The military-inspired Hummer was all the rage in the '90s and '00s, so it was no surprise that the company eventually made a pickup model. The H3T was produced for just a few years, between 2009 and 2010, and offered a short bed with a crew cab and built-in storage.

Chevy's SSR was a convertible pickup with a retractable hardtop. This two-door truck, which was produced only from 2003 to 2006, had retro styling reminiscent of '40s and '50s Chevy pickups. Sales were disappointing and the truck was soon discontinued.

Jeep fans have been doing after-market pickup modifications to Wranglers for years, but Jeep didn't add a factory pickup option until 2019. They look like typical Wranglers, with an added bed on the back for hauling, and come with a stiff axle and ladder frame for off-roading.
